When I put 145MB below I meant that is the size of the binary version of SAGE. The source code version is 100MB. Interestingly, distributing SAGE via VMware for Windows, which includes a complete Linux OS, is 420MB, which is still smaller than the commercial programs. > On 5/24/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Heh.
